Theodore bikel

But there is a difference here: When Jewish children are murdered, Arabs celebrate the deed. The death of an Arab child is no cause for celebration in Israel.

It's a sad thing to contemplate, but I'm the last surviving cast member of 'The African Queen.'

For I firmly believe that Jewish life, indeed any communal life, can only be organized according to democratic principles.

I know for certain of only one commandment, one obligation, that God imposes upon us, and that is to be compassionate toward other human beings.

I do prefer the stage. It's really the granddaddy of them all.

If I have one vanity wish, it would be to direct. It's the only thing I haven't done yet that I would like to.

I make no claim that Jewish culture is superior to other cultures or that the Jewish song is better than the song of my neighbor.

I remain convinced that I can be a true universalist only when I am a better Jew.

I'm exceedingly proud of being an actor, but I never recommend it to anyone.

I am not, and have never been, in favor of boycotting Israel.
